The City of Houston Department of Solid Waste Management (SWM) announces the release of a Storm Debris Collection progress tracker. This tool enables residents to monitor the daily progress of debris collection efforts.
Residents DO NOT need to report storm debris collection to Houston 3-1-1. Houston Solid Waste and its contractors will be driving every street (even neighborhoods that receive private trash collection) to ensure all storm debris is collected.
Access the storm debris collection progress tracker at this website:

Users should use the search function that looks like a magnifying glass to find an address.
Upon completion of the first pass of storm debris collection, SWM will begin a second pass.
Over the next 60-90 days, the City will utilize all its available resources combined with supplemental disaster collection contractors to expedite the debris removal operations in neighborhoods throughout the city.
The first pass should take 30 days to visit every street.
We ask Houstonians to park their cars in their driveway or away from curbside debris piles. Please don’t place debris in ditches. Debris should not be placed within 3 feet of any obstructions such as light poles, low cables or power lines.
Tree trunks must be 3 feet or less in diameter and 3 feet or less in length. All tree branches must be 6 feet or less in length.
Crews will not encroach more than 10 feet onto private property nor enter backyards to remove debris.
SMW will sweep all neighborhoods and public rights of way. Businesses, nonprofits, and schools should contact their regular garbage collection service to request removal of their storm debris.
